Rubio is killing it

It seems that whenever Rubio has a nagging injury he really struggles. Early this season, early last season, the season before. His shooting has been just awful at these times. Like the worst in the league by a huge margin.

But 2013, late last season and now he has merely been bad. Let's call it 40%.

I still think PG is the #3 need for the Wolves. The key is that bad/injured Rubio has to stop happening.

This version of Rubio is amazing. 16 ppg and 10 apg since the AS break on 43% shooting. Obviously we can't expect these numbers next season (or he is an elite PG) but they might indicate a real change and improvement going forward.

Is 20162017 2018 the year that a good pitching prospect is truly blocked by 5 good pitchers in the starting rotation?

I think this is the real Rubio. Healthy, familiar with Thibs system, good teammates around him. Oh, and an electric crowd pleaser. Add an impact SG or move Wig to SG and get a very good SF. That starting 5 is as good as ANY in the league. Now the bench...also needs work.
